Q

Explain how Overactive Hip Adductors can play a role:

A
  • Overactive Hip Adductors are paired with Under active gluteal muscles.
  • This prevents proper stabilisation of the femur and causes the hips to move into Adduction and internal rotation of the hips.

Q

Explain how ankle mobility can play a role:

A
  • Reduced Dorsi Flexion mobility along with tight lower leg muscles.
  • This prevents the knee from migrating forward sufficiently and thus causes the foot to pronate as compensation.
